Grammy-nominated R&B singer Angie Stone, a member of all-female hip hop trio The Sequence has died in a car crash.
The singer, known for the hit song 'Wish I Didn't Miss You' was killed on Saturday morning in a crash, aged 63.
The crash happened at approximately 4am on Saturday as she travelled to Atlanta from Alabama.
The singer-songwriter created hits like 'No More Rain (In This Cloud)' which reached No. 1 for 10 weeks on Billboard’s Adult R&B airplay chart, 'Baby' with legendary soul singer Betty Wright, another No. 1 hit, and 'Wish I Didn’t Miss You' and 'Brotha'.
Her 2001 album 'Mahagony Soul' reached No. 22 on the Billboard 200, while 2007’s 'The Art Of Love & War' peaked at No. 11.
Born in Colombia, South Carolina, the church-grown singer helped for The Sequence, the first all-female group on the hip-hop trailblazing imprint Sugar Hill Records, becoming one of the first female groups to record a rap song.
After finding success in the early 1980s, Stone later joined the trio Vertical Hold before launching her solo career.
Stone went on to showcase her acting skills, starring in The Hot Chick, The Fighting Temptations and Ride Along.
She also hit the Broadway stage as Big Mama Morton in Chicago.
